… Video: recorded 2 miles south of the St. Lucie Inlet in Stuart, Florida. Audio: recorded at the Florida Oceanographic Center in Stuart The tar balls range in size from 3 inches up to 7 inches and were among more than 50 others found recently along this protected beach. A Local Marine Biologist at the Florida Oceanographic Center in Stuart said it is rare for tar balls to come ashore around this area. The beach is a designated wildlife refuge, home to rare nesting birds and turtles. A spokeswoman for the Coast Guards Miami office said, “We don’t know why they are showing up.”

This is a short segment showing the dramatic and unique takeoff from Government Cut in Miami Florida
aboard an old Chalk Grumman seaplane. It is from a home movie of the air tour of Miami and a seperate round trip to Key West
. The landing on the return from Key Wewst is amazing as we scoot a dozen feet over the seawall at Bayfront Park in
downtown Miami. I miss these old planes, there was no better way to fly.
